Two-Button Mitered

Technically, a two-button style is less formal, but this is a fashion-forward look that works with most fabrics and most situations. This is a great choice if you like to roll your sleeves, because the cuff is slightly wider than our other options.

French

The French cuff, our most formal cuff choice, is a foldover style that requires cufflinks. A must for black-tie occasions, they're a bit too formal for most modern workplaces -- unless you're a senior-level exec in a formal office. First years may want to wait for a few promotions before breaking them out.

Short Sleeves / Plain Hem

The short sleeve plain hem is a simple plain hem without a cuff. Length and width settings for the short sleeve can be configured in My Blueprints

Placket Options

The placket is the strip of fabric running down the center-front of the shirt containing the button holes. Ratio offers two placket options.

Standard Placket

The standard placket is a classic, conservative look. It provides more sturdiness and structure to the shirt and will also help keep a collar worn open from pulling out towards the shoulders. Our placket is 1 1/4" wide with 1/4" topstitching to the left and right of the shirt buttons.

Seamless (French Front)

A French front is a contemporary, continental look and many consider it a more formal option. But, don't let that sway you, a French front can be worn casually just as well. If offers a bit less structure than a standard placket, so consider this if you'd like to keep things clean and light.

Pocket Options

Rounded Pocket

Our standard pocket is a rounded bottom pocket on the left breast. A pocket is conservative, classic and a more casual option.

No Pocket

While a pocket is decidely somewhat casual, going without a pocket works on both formal shirts and more casual shirts. Our rule of thumb: if you don't typically use a pocket on your shirts, leave it off.

Dual Utility Pockets

Our dual utility pockets feature a rounded bottom with a button-fastened opening, inspired by classic workwear. Makes a great choice for casual fabrics, especially on a chambray to make a classic utility shirt.

Dual Flap Pockets

Similar to our dual utility pockets, but with an additional flap closure on each pocket. The flap pocket was popularized by J.Press, but our dual version gives a shirt more of a workwear appearance.

Button Options

Standard Buttons

Our standard buttons are made from a highly durable resin material in an off-white/pale yellow color that works with pretty much anything. Slightly thicker than the average button, they feel substantial without being difficult to button, and are nearly impossible to break.

Mother of Pearl Buttons

The natural iridescence of real mother-of-pearl is unmistakable, and looks especially good paired with a crisp white shirt. These are made in a medium thickness for enhanced durability, but be wary of careless dry cleaners — these can chip if not treated with some delicacy.

Brown Horn Buttons

Black Buttons

These plastic black buttons look great with darker fabrics, especially those featuring monochrome hues such as charcoal and gray. That said, many will choose to add them to a lighter color fabric for a pop of contrast.

Monogram

Ratio will monogram your shirt on the left or right cuff for an additional charge. We offer multiple thread and font options. Most choose their initials, but any 3-letter combination can be embroidered. Monogramming is a simple way to personalize the shirt and is a historical staple of custom shirting. It also helps resolve those pesky dry-cleaning mix-ups.

Advanced Collar and Cuff Options

Collar/Cuff Construction

We automatically select our suggested construction based on a given fabric, though you may select your preferred construction from the following choices:

Standard

A crisp construction using a fusible interlining, most appropriate for dress shirts. Collars and cuffs made with our Standard fusible will retain crispness and shape after repeated washings.

Soft Unfused

A lighter, sewn (not fused) interlining, most appropriate for casual shirts. Shirts made with a soft, unfused construction will have a more casual appearance and seams may pucker a bit after a few washes.

Unlined

Made without any interlining. This is the lightest of all constructions, so proceed carefully. We do not recommend using an unlined contruction on anything other than our heaviest fabrics, such as our Campus Oxfords. Most customers that choose an unlined collar pair it with our Fitzgerald Button Down.

White Contrast Collar/Cuff

We'll simply use a solid white fabric for the collar and/or cuffs if this option is selected, creating the classic banker look (think Michael Douglas in
Wall Street).
This option is only available if we offer a suitable solid white fabric choice that will pair well with the body fabric.

Back Collar Button

Choose this option to include a small button and buttonhole on the back of the collar. This is generally only added to button-down collar styles.

Description

Overview

Some folks (read: New Englanders) were born wearing seersucker, others just like how it looks. Seersucker screams summer, and we love the light, gauzy puckered fabric for casual weddings and clambakes under the sun. The blue stripe is the most classic iteration, and with a button-down collar, it's a true classic.

A nice, light fabric for spring and summer with an interesting pucker texture. However, the candy stripe pattern can be tricky to pull off depending on your style.

I like this fabric. Very substantial for seersucker, but wears as cool as it reputed to be.
